Good Design Faster
Ha! Actually, I'm interested in seeing more of YOUR lovely sharpie drawings.
Folks, if you haven't seen them already, check out Ty's beautiful sketchnotes from UX Week: http://www.flickr.com/photos/36742530@N00/sets/72157606809922046/
Design is Made of People: Designing Effective Work Sessions
The workshop was very useful! I would love to have access to the slides that Sarah and Julia showed us during the workshop. Can you possibly send them to me, or publish them somewhere? (janniche.oyen at avenir.no)

Hi Jennifer!
I got some great pics of your hands in the "water mirror" at the Exploratorium! ^^

Hiya. I've put together some extra notes on each of the models -- what they're best suited for and how to use them. Take a look here and let me know if you have any questions about any of it.

Quick Sketching for Interaction Design
This was a blast. Thanks for getting me back into drawing. The people were great, the drawings were classic, and Mark taught the hell out of this workshop.
A truly great experience!

Hi Perry,
My shameful admission is that before I started using this process, I didn't really DO a formal brainstorming step all that often. So, for me, they templates and the sketchboard are a good way to force myself to explore lots of possibilities before diving too deeply into one.
That said, if you have some good established brainstorming practices, keep using them! This is definitely not a replacement. Just another tool in the toolkit. If you do start using them, I'd love to hear how it works for you. (That goes for all of you!) Please keep in touch.

Quick and Easy Flash Prototyping
Alexa and team did a good job running the workshop, and clearly explaining how to use Flash for prototyping. I know feel confident to go away and play with flash and try and prototype and create movies. I can see as a non programmer it will take me quite a while to learn it all esp the coding side.
However, I do feel that using Flash for prototyping is like driving your car to go one block. You can do it, however it may be faster to walk or catch the bus. Not the right tool for the job. If you are essentially creating videos/scenes/conditions just to link from one page to another, it isn't fit for purpose.
I'd recommend a more simple tool e.g. Axure, or alternatively get someone to code it
Anyone using iRise for prototyping?
Our software architects bought it and I was trained in it. It's impressive software! But our UX team has decided to not use it because 1) it's obscenely expensive 2) it's too web-specific (we design lots of things including embedded UI's) 3) it's too high-fidelity and is therefore in conflict with our desire to focus on low-fi tools... We'd rather get our developers building working software using the tools they're fluent in. ...So we've chosen to use Axure RP instead.

Beyond Wireframes - Making Interactive Sketches
Thanks for posting. I was torn on sessions and didn't make it, so I'm glad to see it out here.
twitter moderated panel @ sxsw
enough people mentioned that they enjoyed the twitter interaction during our presentation that I wanted to harness that support for a backchannel moderated panel at SXSW!

Hi Leah -
Pleasure to have met you the other day. Since I wasn't able to attend your workshop, I wanted to know your thoughts about whether design sprints are meant to be in lieu of or in addition to conventional brain storms...or are they another form of brain storming?
Thanks again for posting your files, we're definitely bringing this process back to our agency.
peace. p e r r y
